The LG C4 OLED Evo TV is the sweet spot in the 2024 line-up offering excellent all-round performance for movies, TV shows, Smart TV and Gaming! We give you our video review.
Read the full in-depth review - www.avforums.c...
The C-series is the most important part of the OLED TV line-up for LG as it is the sweet spot for price, features and performance with an excellent all-round appeal. With its Alpha9 AI Processor 4K Gen 7 chip and the latest OLED EX panel with Brightness Booster, we do see a step up in overall image performance, with brighter full screen and specular highlight details and colours that look natural, accurate and rich with lifelike skin tones. As you would expect, the Filmmaker Mode is incredibly accurate out of the box to the industry standards so you can see films and TV shows as they were mastered and intended to be seen.
Gaming is also a strong point with 4K/144Hz, 4K/120Hz with Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VRR as well as the Game Optimizer and dashboard. Input lag is also superb with 4K/60 measured at 9.2ms and 120Hz at 4.7ms, so a place on our Best Gaming TVs is a possibility.
Overall, with a cinematic sheen to film content, very good HDR peak brightness and tone mapping capabilities, mixed with superb gaming features and a strong WebOS 24 line-up of features and apps, the C4 offers the best of what LG has to offer at the mid-range point. It gets a Highly Recommended.

Can you make a video about the best settings for C4?

@MarkDodgson-kz1ei Месяц назад

I've bought the lg B4, payed just 899 and I'm not disappointed for my first OLED.plenty bright enough for my needs,lots of colour and contrast.outstanding tv.

@user-lg6wo6rq3x 28 дней назад

Do you know if the LG C4 suffers from the Color desaturation that the LG G4 does? I know the LG G4 is pushing the brightness and that can make the color desaturation worse. I was just curious about this. With the LG C4 not pushing the brightness as much. I was thinking it might not suffer the same. I am a BIG Fan of your channel. And I look forward to your response. Keep up the great work! And thank you for your time and help. It's greatly! appreciated!

@BigHugeChamp 27 дней назад

The G4 actually has better color saturation! The MLA layer helps with that.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM 2 месяца назад

I don't know why folks are obsessed with brightness. Yes, it's really nice, but it's not the end all and be all. And over the years, I've figured out ways to juice up the brightness on LG TVs.

@calum769 3 месяца назад

Just managed to get one for £930 . It was just under £1000 on lg site then was able to use 5% off welcome offer code. Very happy with that price! Upgrading from an LGCX that I will continue to use in another room :)

Another awesome review Phil. Looks a decent tv, but unfortunately I’m still in the market for the G4. Still waiting for it to arrive in the shops, so I can get a good look. I’ve listened to and seen the reviews,but I just need to get up close and personal if you know what I mean. I’ve seen your review sometime ago on the G4 and I know you gave it a glowing review. Thanks Phil for sharing.

@user-lg6wo6rq3x 2 месяца назад

Does gaming in a different picture mode on the LG C4 improve the brightness? And how is the latency with LLM turned on in the different picture modes?

@iamdmc 4 месяца назад

Love my 42" C2. I can't see any reason to upgrade to the C3 or C4. Frankly, my S95B is far superior as a TV so my next monitor will be QD OLED in a year or two

@andersongonzalezrodriguez6807 2 месяца назад

which is better? LG C4 or Samsung S90D

@varios4883 2 месяца назад

samsung has better picture at night, while lg has better black colour at day. Additionaly samsung has more vibrant colours, while LG has more "natural" colours. At the end i went for c4, but mostly because it has 48" variant, because 55 was too big for me, and samsung doesnt have any smaller oled tv than 55 inches. cheers.

@XYZ-ef3mo Месяц назад

Why do LG not list the Audio Output for any of the C4 models on their website? They do for other models. Its off-putting with 3 product codes too - C44LA, C45LA, C46LA. I understand these codes are usually just regional identifiers but it turns out the C45LA is the only model where the Magic Remote MR24 has NFC. Although the power output is supposed to be 40W for the 55" model the fact there are differences between model codes as stated above does not inspire confidence.

I bought the 55" C4. Its blighted by software bugs. Its built in speakers don't sound as good as my friend's £369 55" Roku TV. They're synthetic and grating. The left sounds louder than the right - yes balance is zero. I bought it directly from LG and tried to talk about this with them. LG's after sales service is appalling. They either hang up or pretend the right department isn't available. If you must buy the C4 use Richer Sounds or John Lewis

c3 is 99% performance of c4? a liitle bit underated. 150nits more, 144hz and pro tonemappings.

@avforums 4 месяца назад

Because of the way our eyes work with brightness, you are not really going to notice any peak brightness benefits, 144Hz is for a small amount of PC Gamers, and you need a meter to make use of the professional tools, so, like I say, 99% of that can be found on the C3.

@optimalsettings 4 месяца назад

@@avforums 1. 150nits is noticable, no more tonemapping for 1000 nit movies 2. Tonemapping pro is useful so u can set 1000 Nit to 95% or maybe 100% without a meter 3. There are a lot of pc gamers that will benefit from 144hz. So i would say a c3 is 80% from a c4.

Depends on country, I think most people in this range will look for bargains and what they need, If samsung has fixed some issues and end users are well happy. Then all equal get that extra colo/brightness. Many S95D customers front loading it with Apple TV or a Shield etc to handle low bit rate media etc. Given that I think this review is for people who just want a capable TV, that does things well. LG > Samsung here . Plug in in and forget. I would rather recommend this to my grandma than a samsung
